My Thoughts On Social Media Claim for Misinformation.

I am puzzled why people make the claim that social media is the dawn of misinformation and human discontent. Look back through history.

When has information of any kind ever not been at the mercy of mass manipulation, inaccurate, or divisive?

People need to think critically before jumping onto band wagon ideas. History is important because it always provides context to everything we observe in the present.

Stop blaming Guns, Social Media, Media, Triggers and patriarchy etc etc the list goes on. I even heard someone tell me that if not for social media the Rohingya genocide!

Though this is true to an extent, and it may have acted as a tool, it still is not the cause or catalyst of such actions. Humans have engaged in such atrocities since the dawn of man, and we never needed the excuse of social media to commit such acts upon ourselves.

Let’s all truly start looking and acknowledging the real ugliness in the mirror.

Our only salvation is only from within. As we all look outward all we are seeing is meer projections of shadows on cave walls. As we all fear to roam beyond the cave itself.

Our species has always had to deal with the darkness that dwells in all of us. No matter the technology or the era we live in we are all capable of committing atrocities and well as elevating, inspiring, creating, and evolving.

So i ask you, can we please stop trying to blame technology for our problems?! Amd lets all start doing the work that needs to be done within ourselves, so that we may all be what we wish to see in the world.
